Have you ever paid attention to how much time we spend waiting in our lives? We spend time waiting for all kinds of things every day, and it's not just the obvious things like a doctor's appointment or the bus.

Life Is So Sweet: Could You Avoid Sugar In Today’s World?
If you had no idea what nutritious food was and only had a supermarket as a guide, you may be forgiven for naively thinking that the snack food aisle must fit the bill given the prominence supermarkets give to soft drinks, biscuits, chocolate and chips.

I've worked from home, or from a corner table in a hole-in-the-wall coffee house, since 2000. It often makes me giggle when I see articles and stats that compare telecommuting to working in a traditional office because many times you can tell that whoever wrote those articles doesn't work from home. ...

The LEGO Bento Lunch Design: A Delicious Feat Of Geek
I remember when eating a bento lunch first became popular several years ago. It was probably common in Japan long before that, but three or four years ago is when bento lunch designs started popping up all over the Internet. It's a fascinating art for many reasons. It's so time consuming and tempora ...

Richest People In America & How They Got Rich [Infographic]
The word "rich" evokes a lot of different emotions in different people. It's probably the one word that has started more wars than any other.

Adopting A Green Lifestyle Can Save You Money [Infographic]
I remember earlier this month when it came out that organic foods aren't significantly better for our health than non-organic foods.

Gender Pricing: Women Often Pay More Than Men [Infographic]
Even though I'm a woman, I've never been one to carry the feminist flag. Since I've been an entrepreneur for so many years, I haven't had to deal with a lot of the office politics that many women talk about having to handle.
